A Father and Son on Faith, Doubt, and Legacy - Rabbi Shlomo Bistritzky

Rabbi Mendy sits down with his father, Rabbi Shlomo Bistritzky, the original “Rabbi B”, for a warm, candid conversation about nearly four decades of communal leadership. Through moving family memories and remarkable stories of the Rebbe, Rabbi Shlomo reflects on the belief that every person has infinite value and that no act of kindness is ever truly small.The conversation moves from spiritual purpose and self-doubt to crises of faith, resilience, and parenting across generations. Rabbi Shlomo shares how faith, supportive relationships, and intentional spiritual practice help us prepare for life’s difficult moments, and why real love means seeing our children, giving them room to grow, and trusting the souls Hashem placed in our care.
